I also have to mentioned that the biggest advantage of using AI is for internal company usage, especially in a companies where it has multiple product, multiple supplier , or producing very competitive product ; company like home depot , medical device or even Adobe, can really make killing productivity by leveraging AI.For people in tech, the ability of AI to generate a code , a database or to articulate complex system , is very valuable.I have been moving from search engine to AI too in last few months and result was great.

Mostly I get guests who are visiting family, businesspeople who need a longer term stay, and now I am hosting guests involved with suppliers who are scouting the area.

Secondly, GC's can generally get better pricing from suppliers, and unless you have a strong relationship with your subs, they may disappear for a higher paying job in the middle of your project.

Same question like if you are a supplier to company , you made your project more continues and large enough so they can give you enough volume discount… key imo is to use the same contractor over and over so both parties are creating mutual trust.

Ask your rehabber where he gets materials, try to find some lumber yards and suppliers, not lowes of HD as they have credit departments.Set up a line of credit with suppliers and by the paper at the time of sale.

The real value with a GC is not only do they know the process and how to properly schedule/manage subs.....they know which subs/suppliers to use and which ones not too.

I've talked to suppliers and sub contractors and gotten the measurements and quotes I need. 

We buy from a local supplier and get then for 600 with all, 500 to install, takes 3 hours.All the best, keep up the good fight :)  

Getting started is as always the hardest part - building out the logistics, legal bits (for import duties, etc), marketing (be it a website, direct b2b marketing or Amazon) and sourcing the right suppliers are all equally difficult (yet interesting) tasks.

That's our first Delma, second several places will not accept a P.O.Box as your address, like the motor vehicle department, my supplier for my insulin pump supplies and so on.
